KATJA FELLE: Paintings 2024–2026
Paintings

This exhibition presents Katja Felle’s most recent body of work. Through a dialogue between different media, the artist continues her exploration of the evolution of painting in the digital age and in the context of the rapid development of artificial intelligence. The selected works reveal a shift from the figurative representations and mimetic fragments that characterised her earlier practice towards abstraction, while investigating the in-between space of digital fluidity.

Felle’s work is rooted in digital aesthetics, which she simultaneously reflects upon and deconstructs through traditional artistic media and meticulous manual craftsmanship. The exhibition features oil paintings, watercolours, and pastels created over the past two years. The pastel works were produced during an artist residency at NKD – Nordisk Kunstnarsenter Dale in Norway.

At the heart of the exhibition lies the question of the materiality of the image in an age of constant digital circulation of visual information, as well as the relationship between the slowness of the painterly process and the immediacy of contemporary visual experience. Through layering, blurring, and fragmentation, the works create a tension between the physical presence of the painting and its seemingly digital ephemerality.
